A quick oneshot, I imagined what might have been the relationship between Narcissa and Sirius, Sirius here wrote her a letter, the first letter is in English, the next one is the same in French. Enjoy.
It was a week after her cousin's death, she was going through some old files and letters when she found a letter, and old one, still sealed…It was in her sister Bella's box. It had her name on it…
Dear Narcissa,
I ran away from home, you probably heard it from mother as well, I know that she disowned me already, she's been waiting to do that for a long time.
I know I was never the perfect Black Heir, & I don't intend on becoming one. You on the other hand, I know that you do your best to please the family, even though we both know It kills you on the inside. You are to be married to Lucius Malfoy, we both know that too, but I want you to know how agonizing it is for me to imagine you saying your wedding vows to him. I don't know if you remember that night, that night when we stole fire whiskey from your father, and we apparated to shrieking shack, the words I said back there, they weren't the words of a stupid drunk, those words were true…I know you thought I was lying and left immediately, but when you ran away that night, my heart was shattered. I lost my family, and now you, you are going to become someone else's. I didn't lose everything when I ran away from home, I lost everything when you got betrothed. I know we will never be together, I just needed to tell you this before I join the order of the phoenix, I will miss nothing more than I will miss your eyes, your beautiful eyes in which I drown every time I see you. I will miss your touch, your smile, your laugh…I now tell you the three words I told you back in the shack... I love you.
Sirius
Tears ran down her cheeks, the only man she ever loved, did love her back…But it was too late…he was gone.
Now in French
Chère Narcissa,
J'ai quitte la maison, on te l'a dis probablement. Ma mère ma désavouer, je le sais, c'est ce qu'elle voulait faire depuis un long temps.
Je n'étais pas le parfait heritier de la famille Black, et je ne le serai jamais. Par contre, toi, je sais que tu fais tout ce que vous pourriez faire pour que la famille soit fière de toi, même si c'est ce qui te fais souffrir. Tu vas épouser Lucius Malfoy, je le sais, mais je voudrais que tu sache que c'est agonisant, le fait que tu seras sa femme. Je ne sais pas si tu te souviens de cette nuit, la nuit durant laquelle on a pris une bouteille de whiskey et on a « apparié » a la cabane, celle du cris perçant, ou je t'es dis quelque chose que je n'oublierai jamais, mais malheureusement ti a cru que ce n'étais qu'une farce, et tu as quitte, tu m'as laisser seul la bas, au cœur blesse. J'ai perdu ma famille, mais je m'en fou…j'ai tout perdu le jour durant lequel ou vos fiançailles ont été annoncer. Je sais tu ne serai jamais a moi, mais je dois te dire quelque chose avant que je joigne l'ordre du phœnix. Je n'oublierai jamais tes yeux, ton sourire…et je vais te dire ce que j'ais dis durant la nuit de la cabane, trois mots du cœur…Je t'aime.
Sirius.
